Spectrum Adjustable Saline Breast Implant.... are these implants safe?

MenRmeanJun 11, 2015
IS IT TRUE THAT: It allows physicians to adjust the size of the breast implant for up to six months after breast augmentation surgery. In a simple office procedure, surgeons can add or remove saline to adjust the final size of the breast implant. IS THIS SAFE TO DO.? does it require for the patient to take meds or antibiotics after the final adjustment? Is there a variety of sizes and profiles to choose from as well?

Thanks for the question. The movement of the implant under the muscle is relatively normal due to its position. Though if you do have any concerns, speak with your plastic surgeon or get a second opinion from another board certified plastic surgeon.All the bestDr. Results
